An underwater planar vehicle, actuated by rear thrusters and equipped with longitudinal control surfaces which allow the drag coefficient modulation in the sway direction, is considered in a dynamic setting. The maneuvring controls for the vehicle, in order to reach the required final position and attitude are devised by exploiting both the rear thrusters actuation and the capability offered by...

Traffic Signal Control (TSC) is a fundamental task in modern intelligent transport systems. TSC often formulated as bi-level optimization problem, comprised by the signal timing at upper level and Dynamic User Equilibrium (DUE) traffic assignment lower level. Since DUE non-convex, existing methods either formulate approximation models or adopt simulators. However, may oversimplify practical sit...

This paper studies the tracking control problem of hypersonic vehicle in process external disturbance, parameters uncertainties and actuator faults. Firstly, a non-triangular velocity altitude nonlinear subsystem with mismatched disturbances faults are established based on feedback linearization model. Secondly, adaptive dynamic surface fault-tolerant controllers designed for subsystems by comb...

A supervisory controller strategy for a hybrid vehicle coordinates the operation of the two power sources onboard of a vehicle to maximize objectives like fuel economy. In the past, various control strategies have been developed using heuristics as well as optimal control theory. The Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) has been previously applied to determine implementable optimal control poli...

Active steering system of railway vehicles has proven its ability to bridge the gap between stability and curve friendliness. Generally scaled railway vehicles were developed to reproduce the fundamental dynamic behavior of the full size railway vehicle in laboratory conditions. This paper describes the design of the braking/traction control systems as a part of a 1/5 scaled railway vehicle for...
